On February 25, 2009 the Lee County Commissioners adopted
changes to the Lee Comprehensive Plan amending, among other
things, the Industrial Development future land use category.
Why is this important to you?
The future land use category controls what type of use may
be constructed on a piece of land, and yes, it supersedes
zoning. If your land is in the Industrial Development FLUC
the amount of commercial office and retail uses permitted
has been very limited. Language has been in place limiting
retail uses to less than 30,000 square feet per development
and office uses had to be "specifically related to adjoining
industrial uses", all but eliminating stand-alone office
uses within the industrial areas.
What has changed?
The language below eliminates the restrictive language
allowing staff to approve a larger amount of retail and
office uses. If your property is in the Industrial
Development FLUC and has been zoned as an Industrial Planned
Development (IPD) in the last 10 years, you can now amend
the IPD and achieve a much more flexible product mix.
Is your property in the Industrial Development FLUC?
If your property is north of Alico Road, west of I-75 and
east of US 41 then most likely, yes. Likewise, if you are on
Metro Parkway north of Daniels.
